Commander of US Space Base in Greenland Is Removed Following Vance Visit
The Epoch Times ^ | April 11, 2025 | Ryan Morgan

The Pentagon has relieved the commander of a U.S. Space Force base in Greenland just two weeks after she hosted Vice President JD Vance for a visit.

In an April 10 statement, Space Force Delta 1 announced Col. Susan Meyers was relieved of her command at the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland earlier that day. The statement indicates that Col. Kenneth Klock, who leads the Space Force Delta 1, ordered Meyers’s removal “for loss of confidence in her ability to lead.”

“Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties,” the statement reads.

“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote

She does not understand current politics.

Quicker than putting in papers for retirement.

“My command does not share the opinion of the President of the United States.”

Military.com first reported that shortly after Vance’s Greenland visit, Meyers disseminated an email across the Pituffik Space Base community, appearing to disavow some of the views Vance had expressed.

I wonder how the Colonel would have felt if some Major had replied to her email and explained to everyone at the base that the Colonel was full of hot air and her views did not reflect his own. She probably would have been unhappy.

Trump just created this “Space Force” in his last term.

This military arm must be absolutely infested with DEI ‘Rat-types!

Makes no difference what her politics are.
Her job was to shut the hell up and support her commander.
She failed to do such.
Get out.

I presume she was not relieved of her stripes (and those earrings), but was reassigned. Anybody know where she landed?

And more than just that. She is clueless about her place in the chain of command.

Image if a sergeant at her base had posted: “Col. Meyers’ recent comments do not reflect the opinion of the enlisted personnel at this base.”

Col. Meyers would certainly have a serious sad over that.

hmmmm....Dei recipient plugging for more DEI? Perhaps a cross dresser? Making secret calls to China? Press leaker?
Maybe all of the above?

Seems to me that her lack of understanding current politics isn’t what got her replaced; it was her lack of understanding the chain of command ... and all that entails.

Was she promoted to full-bird colonel into her Greenland job? Wouldn’t her removal automatically bump her down one?

Consequence of girl-boss mentality.

I’ll bet there’s even a pair of those “American flag” sneakers sitting in her closet.

This should bump her right into the E-nothing zone.

Let’s not be too harsh. I think that they should let her stay in Greenland. She should get a new job title though. There must be a guard shack out on the northern-most tundra that needs to be occupied. What a great place to spend time reflecting on this administrations policies. They could drop her off there and make a food delivery every few months. I don’t think that the dog-sled team should stay though. That would be cruel. The northern lights shows should be spectacular. What a great opportunity for her.
